Description

The study of the single-hadron semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering process (SIDIS) is a rapidly developing and expanding area of inquiry in hadronic
physics, owing to the prospect of realizing a precision three-dimensional imaging
of the quark structure of the nucleon in momentum space. Measurements of the
azimuthal angular distributions of hadrons produced at large values of z = Eh=?
and "small" transverse momentum pT ~ \Lambda_?QCD in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon
scattering provides access to novel features of nucleon structure that are inaccessible in traditional inclusive DIS, including the e?ects of initial-state quark transverse momentum, transverse polarization of the parent nucleon and the
struck quark, and "flavor tagging" due to the varying sensitivity of di?erent
hadron species to di?fferent quark flavors. The Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at Je?erson Lab has recently completed an upgrade to
a maximum beam energy of 11 GeV at ?ve passes for electron scattering experiments. The energy upgrade of CEBAF, combined with its already unrivaled intensity, duty cycle and polarization, facilitates a three-dimensional nucleon imaging program of unprecedented precision in the valence region. In this talk,I will present a brief overview of the planned CEBAF SIDIS program in experimental Halls A, B and C.
